Rachel Brown and the Alternative Information Center (AIC)
The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University

Rachel Brown is thrilled to be a 2009 Peace Fellow working in East Jerusalem with the Alternative Information Center (AIC), an Israeli-Palestinian organization dedicated to promoting a joint peace agenda in the region. Throughout her fellowship, Rachel will support the efforts of the AIC to build their information capacity and extend the reach of their political advocacy campaigns.
Rachel is currently a graduate student at The Fletcher School where she studies international negotiation and conflict resolution. Her specific areas of focus are on reconciliation processes and youth and gender in conflict.
Before coming to Fletcher, Rachel worked as an intern at CARE and also at The Carter Center, where she researched and wrote about the rule of law in West Africa. She was also a volunteer statement-taker for the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission Diaspora Project, through which she was able to travel to Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana. After graduating from Brown University in 2005 where she concentrated in Middle East Studies with a focus on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Rachel became a Teach For America corps member and taught seventh grade English in southwest Atlanta.
Rachel very much looks forward to promoting the joint efforts of Palestinian and Israeli peaceniks during her fellowship, and plans on using new media throughout her career to engage youth in grassroots peace efforts on both sides of the conflict.
